This item only counts effective healing, not overhealing. It may affect absorbs, but only once an effect (like Power Word: Shield) actually absorbs damage, not when it is applied.

Example: You have the normal version of this trinket and heal a player for 30,000 (no overhealing). The normal version of the trinket gives 0.79% of effective healing as leech, so the player would gain 237 leech for 10 seconds. 237 leech gives a player 3.39% of their damage/healing returned to them as self-healing.

What do you guys think about this on a Restoration Druid?

The real question -- Does it count towards your hps or the target's?

Today I did 5m Bloodmaul with Heroic version of this trinket. I recorded the damages and heals using Skada.I totally healed for 30.12MLeech heal on the party was 2773.5kLeech overheal was 1023.9k.By timing the dps of the party member to each party member's base leech stat, The amount of leech that would be done without this trinket would be 1320k. Some part of those may be overheal. So the amount of heal granted by this trinket should be between 1453.5-2773.5k, which gives that this trinket gives +4.8%-9.2% more healing for me.

I am a disc priest so damage absorption does not trigger this trinket, and other classes should benefit more from this trinket.Actually it does benefit much more, like 20-30% for direct healing classes, as quoted from Sonie, Restoration Druid of Method:

The council fight was about the same difficulty as the nerfed Kormrok, maybe a bit more since we did in fact have a few extra item levels and most importantly leech trinkets for me, Zaelia and Apko. We did indeed end up 5 healing this encounter as it was easier to sustain and we didn’t want to waste any time at all. We actually started out 4 healing and it went “okay-ish” but quite quickly decided to make the swap.

I was truly amazed by the power of the leech trinket, it felt like you were doing it with 1 extra healer just because you had 3 trinkets. Obviously this healing doesn’t show up on the healing list so a heads up to you raid leaders out there to not judge a healer too quickly by the meters if he or she is using it.

It doesn't seem to proc off of Shaman's totems. So Healing Tide's and Healing Stream's healing doesn't seem to add to the buff.

I hope this is unintentional, as I find the idea of this trinket interesting and many underestimate it's strength. But if we don't get the extra leech that other healers get (tranq, revival, etc) It seems a tad less strong for shamans.

AskMrRobot logs now attribute healing from this trinket to the correct healer. This trinket is godly for raid healers (like Holy Priests). Using the 715 ilvl version, I've seen over 11M healing on fights with sustained damage like Hellfire Council, and no less than a few million even on the worst bursty damage fights.

For anyone wondering the capabilities of this trinket... I FINALLY got it to drop, last night, from heroic. I upgraded it twice, and ran mythic UBRS. Recorded the healing with skada, and it did 9.91 MILLION healing, on my resto druid.
